What are the True Benefits of a Sauna?
from: Sara JenkinsIf you're serious about relaxation, then consider the many
benefits and advantages of a Sauna. No chemicals to mix, no
pumps to break, just a few simple heating elements and a
stainless steel body in a fragrant, cedar-lined room. Relaxation
and rejuvenation can be obtained during Sauna Sessions as brief
as twenty minutes. As your pores open and sweat flows freely, so
does the tension and stress of the day. There simply is no
sensation quite like the Sauna Sensation. Lactic acid dissipates
with the heat and muscles sore from strenuous exercise relax.
Because so few modern-day people perform hard, physical labor
for a living, most of us simply do not perspire enough. In
addition, we clog our pores with the use of cosmetics,
antiperspirants, smog, and other modern "conveniences." In a
sauna, you expose yourself to a high enough temperature for a
long enough time to cause perspiration. This perspiration
cleanses the skin of impurities. The heat from the sauna also
relaxes the muscles, relieving muscular aches and pains. It is a
refreshing, revitalizing experience that helps both body and
mind. Stress melts away, and the sauna helps many people sleep
more soundly. Simply pouring some essence of Eucalyptus (a
natural substance) in a ladle of water onto the Sauna rocks
yields a fragrant and medicinal burst of steam. Steam is an
excellent treatment for respiratory problems, such as; chest
congestion, bronchitis, laryngitis and sinusitis. When taking a
sauna, skin temperature rises to 40°C (104°F) and internal body
temperature rises to about 38°C (100.4°F). Exposure to the high
heat creates an artificial fever state. Fever is part of the
body's natural healing process. Fever stimulates the immune
system resulting in increased production of disease fighting
white blood cells, antibodies and interferon (an anti viral
protein with cancer fighting capability). Would you like to take
sauna to another level than just sweat at the gym? Would you
like to almost reach a high level of peace and serenity? For
